What is the ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant?

The ARTAS robotic hair transplant is the first robot assisted hair transplant procedure. Robots help surgeons perform the most delicate and complex operations with precision only dreamed of a few years ago. Thousands of people undergo ‘da Vinci’ robotic assisted surgery across the world every day for prostate and cardiac surgery. Now it’s being used to transform hair restoration.

No Linear Scar

The ARTAS procedure is the most sophisticated, minimally invasive Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method available. For those who like to wear their hair extremely short, this procedure is your best option because there is no linear scar.

Precision and Accuracy

With micron level accuracy and precision, hair is identified and delicately harvested using a complex algorithm which selects the best hairs for your transplant. It’s been said the robot is up to a 1,000 times more accurate than hand guided systems.

The speed and accuracy of the robot far exceeds that of a manual FUE procedure as well as motorized handheld tools and gives the doctor much more control.

Eliminates Human Error

The ARTAS outperforms manual FUE by reducing transection through robotic analysis of hair angles and thickness. Imaging is superior with High-Definition Stereoscopic Vision.

Plus, the quality of the first graft is identical to the quality of the 1000th graft because human fatigue is eliminated. ARTAS Results 1 Year Later

Why is Manual FUE So Damaging?

Simply put, Manual FUE without robotic assistance is not only slow and tedious, it can be destructive!

TRANSECTION:Accidental destruction of the hair follicle during harvest by nipping and separating the base of the hair.

Manual FUE involves harvesting with a small hand punch device. Some punches are automated but in both cases the physician or technician must guide a hollow punch device over the small hair, or group of hairs, and thread them through the middle of the punch. Then they plunge the device into the skin hoping to extract the hair or hairs without damaging them or the important surrounding / supportive tissue. Unfortunately, when done by hand and not with the precision of robotics, the hairs are often damaged or killed. This is also known as ‘nipping’. Enter ARTAS, the most sophisticated medical robot that harvests hair from the donor region with precision not achievable by the human hand.
